Sustainable Urban Design: Engineering Tomorrow … Today” is the theme of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers' (ASHRAE's) 2009 Winter Conference, which will be held Jan. 24-28 at Palmer House Hilton and McCormick Place in Chicago.

The event's technical program consists of more than 100 sessions, with more than 140 professional-development-hour credits available.

On Jan. 28 at McCormick Place, ASHRAE will hold a morning reception and provide 18 hands-on educational programs, as well as access to the AHR Expo show floor.

The event's technical keynote speaker will be Adrian Bejan, PhD, the J.A. Jones Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke University. Bejan developed constructal theory, which he says can predict how everything flows through time and space. He will speak Jan. 25 from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. at Palmer House Hilton.
